Chapter 52: The Lack of Boats
Not only Che'er, but even Xiao Yayan's face turned pale.
She miscalculated!
"Now, does my sister have anything to say?" Xiao Changge asked, Xiao Yayan turned around and reached out and slapped Che'er in the face, glaring at her angrily.
This slap was a little more ruthless than Xiao Changge's pinching just now, she calculated the strength of the pinch, but Xiao Yayan's slap didn't even leave any strength.
With a snap, the people in the room were quiet, and even Xiao Changge looked at it with his hands crossed, but he didn't even say a word.
The palm of his hand was imprinted on Che'er's face, flushing red, and even Che'er was beaten a little dizzy, and it took a while to recover.
"Che'er, do you know that burning the temple is a big crime, why do you do this!" Xiao Yayan asked viciously, her eyes eager to stare Che'er out of a hole.
The corners of Che'er's mouth were bleeding, she looked up at Xiao Yayan's hideous face, remembered what Xiao Yayan said before, and felt a chill in her heart.
Bei Tooth bit her tongue, and the smell of blood in her mouth stimulated her brain.
"Because Che'er hates Xiao Changge, she wants to burn her!" Che'er stared at Xiao Changge, staring at her all the time.
"You, why are you so vicious! I dare to want to burn Sister Changge! Xiao Yayan covered her mouth in surprise, pointed at Che'er and trembled.
"Yes, because I want her dead! Miss, you can bear it, but the slave maid can't bear it, Xiao Changge bullied you like that in the Xiao Mansion, you have always said good things for her, the slave and maid can see it in their hearts, Miss, you don't feel sorry for yourself, the slave and maid are still distressed. Che'er cried her face, tears rolled in her eyes, and she looked at Xiao Yayan guiltily.
Xiao Yayan heard Che'er's words, and her eyes flashed.
When Xiao Changge heard this, a trace of surprise flashed on his face and he immediately covered it up, his eyes turned to Che'er, but there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
The people around looked at Xiao Changge, but if this person didn't speak, what else could they say?
"Che'er, stop talking!" Xiao Yayan scolded angrily, reaching out and trying to cover Che'er's mouth, but Che'er started to continue talking.
"Che'er nonsense? Xiao Changge not only let you fall into the water, but also discredited you, and even hurt you to kneel in the ancestral hall, miss, you can't bear this anger. Che'er is guilty, Che'er deserves to die, Che'er is afraid that she will not be able to repay Miss's kindness in this life, so she only asks Miss to talk to Che'er's parents, and Che'er will repay them for their nurturing kindness in the next life. After Che'er finished speaking, a trace of red slowly flowed out of her mouth, and even her eyes were open.
"Che'er, Che'er." Seeing this, Xiao Yayan grabbed Che'er's arms with both hands and shook them, but she didn't react at all, and she also cried at the moment.
Seeing this, Xiao Changge wanted to step forward and use the cup to jam Che'er's mouth, but his hand was slapped off before Che'er got close.
"Don't get close to Che'er, Sister Changge, Che'er was forced to death by you!" Xiao Yayan stared at Xiao Changge coldly, as if she was going to be eaten alive.
Xiao Changge looked at Xiao Yayan and sneered, and then looked at Che'er without even moving for a moment to know that he was hopeless.
If Xiao Yayan is willing to get out of the way, then Che'er should still be saved.
It's a human life anyway, and it's a pity to die so easily.
"Fourth prince, Che'er is dead, dare to ask how to deal with this matter?" Xiao Changge turned around and asked Chu Yu as if he hadn't heard Xiao Yayan cry.
There seemed to be a smile in those phoenix eyes, and he felt a little bored with this farce.
"The emperor asked this prince to find out who was the murderer of arson, and since it has been investigated, this prince naturally reported to the emperor according to the truth of the matter." Chu Yu hooked his lips and smiled coldly. "In that case, there will be the fourth prince of Lao." Xiao Changge bowed slightly, Xiao Yayan in the room was still crying, this was crying pear blossoms with tears.
However, the monks in the temple looked Xiao Changge up and down, and their impression of Xiao Changge was quite good before, but after listening to Che'er's words, their impression of her plummeted.
Even the host sighed, and said in his mouth: "Amitabha, sin and sin." ”
Xiao Changge didn't care what they thought, even if she was misunderstood, she didn't bother to explain one by one, the more she explained, the more they would misunderstand, so it was most appropriate not to say anything.
Xiao Yayan cried breathlessly, and even when those monks carried Che'er's body out, Xiao Yayan refused to let go, but it really staged a scene of deep love between master and servant for them.
I have to say that even Wuzheng was deceived by Xiao Yayan's acting skills, and comforted Xiao Yayan vigorously.
As for Che'er's body, she was moved to the Mingge Temple, and several abbots chanted the Buddha for her, bless her on the Huangquan Road, and be a good girl in the next life.
Today is the begging festival, the city is lively and cheerful, the market is noisy, the lanterns are hung all over the stalls, the boats are not swimming on the lake, and the ripples are spreading, and even the guests of the green building are several times more than usual.
The girls of all families walked the streets in beautiful clothes, and the sons also went out to find a good girl.
Who is the girl that this boy in the city wants to get close to the most? It must be Chen Yi of the Chen family, Xia Ruoyun of the Xia family, and Xiao Changle of the Xiao family.
The young ladies of these three families are the objects of reverie of the sons in the city, and before the beggar festival, they sent invitations to their houses with a fluke heart, but as in previous years, they were rejected one by one.
If you accept their invitation and are seen and spread it, it will not be good for their reputation.
So in previous years, Xiao Changle gathered all those who invited her together and recited poems against them, but this year is different, Xiao Changle rejected the sons who sent invitations one by one.
Although they felt strange, Xiao Changle refused like this, and they couldn't help it.
It's just that I don't know, who can win the favor of Chen Xiaxiao, the three young ladies this year, and be able to spend this begging festival with them?
According to rumors, Miss Xia of the Xia family can spend this year with the three princes, although it is a rumor, but it is better to believe it than not.
The third prince just came back and made an appointment with Miss Xia, so it seems that the position of the three princesses will fall on the Xia family soon.
Moreover, before the three princes went to the Northern Desert, they were childhood sweethearts with Xia Ruoyun, and the two had no guesses, and there were rumors since before that the position of the three princesses must fall on Xia Ruoyun.
The boats roamed in the lake, and there were several boats on the lake, but the middle one was the most conspicuous.
Outside, two maids stood with baskets of flowers they had just plucked from the garden this morning, and behind the boat stood two guards, straight and straight.
There was a burst of laughter from inside the boat, and even the noise outside could not affect the people inside.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you are right, this Mei Lanzhu is indeed not as good as Lian." Xiao Changle is wearing an extremely dazzling outfit today, if it is placed among the women, the first thing they see must be Xiao Changle.
I saw her combing her phoenix bun, swaying tassels, wearing a jade vortex-colored fragrant bucket pattern, and a red cloak outside.
There was a hint of redness on her fair face, and there was an extra temperament between her demeanor, which made people feel that this woman had been trained in good manners.
In the face of Chu Yan, she was calm and unhurried, and her conversation was elegant and just right.
Seeing Chu Yan's smiling appearance, Xiao Changle's eyes flashed with a gleam.
"Although the lotus comes out of the mud and is not stained, there are things that this lotus can't compare." The thin lips opened lightly, and her deep eyes kept looking at Xiao Changle, which made her shyly bow her head, not daring to look at the man in front of her.
But this kind of coquettish appearance is deeply liked by Chu Yan.
What he likes is such a tender woman, coupled with Xiao Changle's status in the family, not only Mrs. Xiao likes her, but even the Yan family and General Xiao hold her in the palm of their hands, compared to Xiao Changge's status in the Xiao family, it is simply a heaven and a earth.
So Chu Yan was shaken, maybe Xiao Changle could give him what he wanted!
He has seen Xiao Changge a few times, and what he can feel from her is mediocre in addition to mediocrity, even if this appearance is mediocre, he can bear it, but now even his appearance is ruined.
Even if he was willing to marry such a woman as the crown princess, his mother would never agree.
Coupled with the words of the scavenger before, his mother would not agree.
Now Concubine Jing intends to let Chu Mo envelop the Xia family, and Xia Ruosheng's old fox is the grass on the wall, don't look at the last time he helped recommend Ye Ziyuan, in fact, he threw a lot of money on Xia Ruosheng, otherwise how could that old fox agree to help with this?
As soon as Chu Mo came back, some ministers above the court would definitely change their minds.
Don't look at Chu Mo who doesn't ask for anything, who can really have no desire in this royal life?
Chu Mo's return was undoubtedly a bad thing for them, whether it was him or Chu Yun.
Emperor Chu doted on Chu Mo, which made them feel a sense of crisis.
If Xia Ruoyun really fell in love with Chu Mo, then the Xia family would inevitably stand behind Chu Mo and support him!
"His Royal Highness the Prince? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? ”
The soft voice echoed in Chu Yan's ears, and his thoughts were slowly hooked back, seeing the woman in front of him frowning and worried, Chu Yan couldn't help but smile.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is thinking so much that he even frowns, has he encountered anything difficult?" Xiao Changle called Chu Yan a few times, but he didn't respond, and when he saw his frowning appearance, he knew that he had something on his mind.
"Prince Ben is just thinking, what should this woman who is nobler than a lotus and who is not stained by mud in front of him?" Chu Yan's eyes kept looking at Xiao Changle.
Xiao Changle's expression moved, and he couldn't help laughing.
"I don't know who can get into the eyes of the prince and get the praise of the prince? Changle was curious from the bottom of his heart. ”
Xiao Changle smiled lightly, but Chu Yan kept looking at her.
"I've said so, Le'er, who else can get into the eyes of this prince?" Chu Yan's sound of music made Xiao Changle can't help but raise his head, and his eyes looked at Chu Yan in front of him, but he couldn't even say a word.
"The Chen Xia family is like this Mei Lanzhu, although it is beautiful and elegant, but this prince loves lotus, Le'er, do you understand?" Chu Yan held Xiao Changle's little hand, and when Xiao Changle wanted to break free, Chu Yan clenched her little hand.
"What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is too profound, Changle doesn't understand." Xiao Changle bowed his head and said.
"Le'er only needs to know the heart of Prince Ben, and it doesn't matter if you understand what Prince Ben said."
"This hairpin is very suitable for Le'er and bought it, can you let this prince put it on for Le'er?" Chu Yan didn't know when he took out a hairpin from his sleeve.
The hairpin carving is not ambiguous and exquisite, and there is a blooming lotus flower on the top, which is pink and small, and does not lose its generosity.
When Xiao Changle saw this hairpin, his face was full of surprise.
